Bill DeBlasio’s father, Warren Wilhelm, supported the appeasement of Adolph Hitler in an October 26, 1938 debate...
DeBlasio’s father, then a Labor member of the Yale Political Union, gave a stirring speech in favor of appeasing Hitler.
...
The New York Times didn’t reveal DeBlasio’s father’s appeasement views ahead of the 2013 mayoral election.

Would it have mattered? Do New Yorkers even know what "appeasement" means?In fact, do they know who Hitler is?
He just reappointed a judge who released two gangstas who threatened to kill cops.

Never bothered them about Kennedys.
This is probably a silly question, but how come DeBlasio’s father’s name was Wilhelm?
But de Blazio hates his father...that’s why he changed his name.

DeBlasio sounds less germanic...
Bill de Blasio was born Warren Wilhelm, Jr.
a peasement?
a right to cross or otherwise use someone else’s land for a specified purpose.?
Ever wonder where he got his “liberal” ideas?
In fairness to NY voters, I doubt if many of my fellow Caliph-ornians know what the word means and who Hitler was, either.
In 1983, fresh out of New York University, he petitioned a Manhattan judge to formally change his name to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm, according to legal records.
And in December 2001 he petitioned a judge in Brooklyn to formally change his name again, this time to Bill de Blasio.
In recent years the candidate has, at times, talked about the evolution of his name, saying it reflected a personal journey that involved his parents’ divorce and an identification with his mother’s family, the de Blasios.
Since DeBlasio’s father was estranged from the family, and Da Mayor adopted his mother’s name to underline the separation, I hardly think the old man’s views reflect one way or the other on hizzoner. That said, if Warren Wilhelm was a leftie, his views on Hitler likely dovetailed with the party line. I’m too lazy this morning to check the timeline to see if there’s a match.
Bill is short for Wilhelm.
His real name is Warren Wilhelm. The character "Bill DeBlasio" was invented to run in NYC elections.
All communists preached appeasement to Hitler back in those days, right up to the point Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Then, like magic, they all turned on a dime and began screaming for war. For the left, WWII was never a war to stop Hitler. It was always a war to save the Soviet Union.
Big deal. It didn’t bother the Democrats about the Kennedys making a fortune working with Hitler either (after the illegal bootlegging that is)
The New York Times saw fit to cover up this information before the election - even though they had it. I wonder what they would have done if it had been a Republican . . . .
POLITICAL ALLIANCES, 1989-2000
David Dinkins
In 1989 de Blasio served as a volunteer coordinator for the NYC mayoral campaign of Democrat David Dinkins. Following Dinkins’ victory, de Blasio became an aide in City Hall.
The New Party
When asked in 1990 to describe his political views, de Blasio replied that he was an advocate of “democratic socialism.” In the mid-nineties, he served as executive director of the New York branch of the New Party, a pro-socialist, ACORN-affiliated entity to which Barack Obama likewise belonged.
Charles Rangel; Cuba
In 1994 de Blasio managed New York Congressman Charles Rangel’s re-election campaign. When de Blasio married former lesbian activist Chirlane McCray that same year, the couple honeymooned in Fidel Castro’s Cuba, in violation of the U.S. ban on travel to that country.
Radical Parents
Historian Ron Radosh describes de Blasio as: (a) “a far left radical whose ancestors are the New Left and the Communists”; and (b) “a bona fide red diaper baby” who, “like many of his generation ... kept his parents’ ... pro-Communist politics not far from his heart.” Both of de Blasio’s parents were far leftists—most likely, members of the Communist Party USA or some of its numerous front groups. His mother, Maria de Blasio, worked in the early 1940s at the Office of War Information—a U.S. government agency staffed largely by pro-Soviet leftists who depicted the USSR in a positive light.
SUPPORTER OF COMMUNIST & ANTI-AMERICAN CAUSES IN THE 1980’S
In 1983, while he was still at NYU, Bill de Blasio toured parts of the Communist Soviet Union. This was a period of significant Cold War tension between the United States and the USSR, as the Soviets were attempting to permanently solidify their nuclear superiority over the U.S. Notably, de Blasio at one time served as an organizer with the anti-nuclear, anti-American organization Physicians for Social Responsibility.
